Furniture that speaks: functional statement pieces

Boring furniture is everywhere. It’s pandemic. Protect your Atlanta home by investing in furniture that makes a more personal, lively statement.

In the past, when you wanted something truly unique, you’d have to spend hours sifting through thrift shops or drop major cash in consignment and antique stores. You’d then have to restore your secondhand finds to their former glory to make them presentable. Step into a new way of shopping by finding designers who know what you’re looking for and provide it with minimal effort on your part.

Create a piece that speaks to your distinct sense of style. Vanguard offers personalized upholstery for everything from bar stools, armchairs and other furnishing. I absolutely adore the versatility this allows, particularly if you’re going for a specific look but you don’t want to drive all over Atlanta to find just what you’re looking for. When creating your piece(s) you can customize the fabric (including inscriptions!), leather, nail trim, leg styles, welt options, molding and other details.

Fairfield has a line of new home furnishings that are a nod to past design schools, so you can find vintage-inspired pieces that look like new (without the questionable stains or frayed fabric). Their inventory holds various styles including mid-century, French country, contemporary, Asian fusion and more. While silhouettes and fabric choices differ, the Fairfield brand is known for consistently fine construction and quality materials.

If you want pieces that are full of Old World allure and classic charm, I definitely recommended Pulaski. Dining room sets, curios, consoles, and other pieces are rich with ornate and intricate detailing. There are a few streamlined pieces in their collection but I definitely think the classics are their strong point.
